Crazy love

Christmas comes early for dance fans when Kid Loco plays his first Irish shows at Dolan's, Limerick (July 25th); The Blue Angel, Cork (26th); and The Thomas House, Dublin (28th).

Support is provided by the Cork-born, Stockholm-based Mighty Quark and Dubliner Pixelcorps.

A permanent fixture on Donal Dineen's Here Comes The Night show, the Frenchman's Godchild Vs Kid Loco album is a tantalising mix of lush strings, murky basslines and Gallic quirkiness.

In other words, don't you dare miss him!
